Peripheral Choroid/RPE/Sclera as a Shared Pathogenic Hub: Multi-Tissue Transcriptomic Profiling Identifies Common Differentially Expressed Genes in Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Alzheimer's Disease.
Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), two prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, share overlapping pathophysiological features yet lack cross-disease therapeutic strategies. This study systematically investigates their parallel genes and shared molecular mechanisms to identify potential therapeutic targets for dry AMD, a condition with limited treatment options.
